Did you actually read the rest of my post? The entire premise of my argument is that MobileRead ≠ All eReader Users.
I shall condense it into one sentence for you: While DRM does prevent casual sharing among non-tech people, that lack of technical know-how means that the bizarre problems DRM can cause are very difficult for them to solve, thus resulting in them rejecting ebooks as a concept.
